Please note: From now on, I will not able able to address each and every comment. I thank all of my wonderful subscribers and supporters but I cannot invest more time than I already do to my YouTube channel and this blog. Take the time to watch the entire length of my videos and do not ignore all the information I post in the videos and the sidebars. I will not reply to comments and questions if the information you are requesting is readily available.
Also, please refer to my responses to other viewers' comments if you see that I have not answered your question[s]. My academic and personal schedule is incredibly hectic as of late and though I apologize for the convenience, I can't possibly respond to everyone anymore. The amount of time it took for me to reply to each comment thus far will be unfathomable to all of you; I really don't know how I was able to manage it! Nonetheless, thank you for understanding =)

Here is a reader-friendly breakdown, starting with the night-time ritual:

Ineffective Products:
Korres Quercetin & Oak Antiaging & Antiwrinkle Oil-Control Treatment [aka, a waste of $50 + tax]
*Korres is the most over-rated skincare brand. This is just my opinion but none of their products work for me, though their shower gels do smell nice. Save your money and avoid the hype. I warned you already! =)
Peter Thomas Roth Acne Spot and Area Treatment
*In the summer, I do get an occasional pimple so a spot treatment is nice to have on hand. Sadly, this gentle sulfur acne treatment does not work for me. I will stick to my little sample of the Murad Acne Spot Treatment, which will last me the rest of this year at least, and the OH Invigorating Night Gel.

What happened to my Dior Rituel Nuit and other key products in my last skincare video?
The answer is simple. I use different products during different seasons. I haven't stopped using them because they are no longer effective. I will bring them back out when winter rolls around!

You all know I covet limited edition, highly-exclusive products. Hence, I HAD to purchase all 4 pieces in the Chanel Noir et Or collection, which I had sent to me from a NY Chanel Boutique. I know there are two but I forget which.

The Chanel sales associate that rung me up, however, charged me a whopping $25 [the cost of ONE varnish, pre-tax!!!] for Fed-Ex 2-day shipping. I was further annoyed when my package actually took 3 days to arrive and on top of that, I had to drive 30 minutes to the most obscure Fed-Ex location to pick it up when there's a perfectly good Fed-Ex right down the street. Okay, that's my little rant for now but I am in LOVE with all four products.

These are my first 3 Chanel nail varnishes. And I'm not quite sure why but I've really been loving nail varnishes these days. It's strange. I'll update this post with photos of the colors on my fingernails soon because I'm going to get a manicure to celebrate my birthday on SUNDAY! And yes, I am finally turning 21 =)

The cake liner and gold shadow duo is out of this world. I love yellow gold and this Chanel shadow is so smooth. I won't say that it's the best shadow I've ever used but the color is to die for and that cake liner, wow! It's so rich and pigmented. It dries to a velvet finish and I'm absolutely obsessed. I wish I had purchased the Limited Edition Brun Cake Liner duo when I had a chance. Maybe I'll get lucky and snatch up the last one at a counter somewhere hehe

Anyway, these pictures are quite awful since I snapped them at night but they're definitely worth a look if you want to pick them up before they're gone! Once I get my nails done, I'll be sure to take pictures in natural light so you can see how beautiful the colors truly are.

P.S. I realize I've been neglecting this blog but believe me, I'll do my best to update it as much as possible from now on!
